Manglerfish likely suffers a height problem versus Jevil. Only way I see it even reaching is via utilizing the saw in a more vertical position to try and catch the chassis, since we'll monstertruck over them otherwise. But a very fast thwack moving at incredibly high speed, pushing on a higher-up part of Manglerfish like that is likely to induce a torque on Manglerfish itself. Basically, ramming into Manglerfish without trying to vert-thwack will likely throw the thing over onto its back, where its wheels don't go, forcing it to waste some time self-righting. Either that or the motor in charge of moving it gets upset at the unexpected force and craps itself entirely, snapping backwards, which would be a welcome surprise. From the start of the match, go at RAMMING SPEED towards Manglerfish (though be a little careful if they're trying to go around, wouldn't want to fall over too much) and try to topple it over, keeping going and lugging it along the floor a bit with the thwack knife, see if we can force them into the hazards. In fact, start the match upside down. Makes it easier to hook them. Probably.
If tossing Manglerfish on its arse isn't proving too helpful, or it's catching us with the upright saw (somehow), utilize raw speed and the torque we have to attempt to meander them onto more awkward terrain. If they've got the saw going, it will not like having to deal with its target jostling about. Jevil can't be fully pinned for the most part, and if they've cut a nice little groove into Jevil somewhere that the blade's in, a jostle from the ramp or from Jevil just changing direction could potentially shag up the blade a bit, possibly snap it.
tl;dr: Do this to Manglerfish or something. Deny control, deny damage, stomp on aggression.
